I'm learning a lot right now. I'm learning the vastness of conscious states that encompasses humanity.

Somebody ever flip out on you over seemingly nothing? Anybody ever tell you need to get a job, or cut your hair? Anybody ever tell you... I dunno, that you're a weirdo?

Give 'em the biggest hug you've ever gave anyone in your life. By golly they probably feel like a friggin pickle.

Hello fellow injian! In order to stop feeling like a pickle, eat a lot of raw food and nothing else! Work little pickles out of your life over time and eventually, you'll have a vague memory of what a pickle even is. :excited:

Depending on what cooked foods and how much...

Water, water, chlorella, water more water and some sort of herbal smooth move tea :)

What help me feel okay right away is to drink a small glass of water mixed with a spoon of AVC every hour till I felt fine.

Sorry you feel like a pickle!! Know the feeling!

i get some bentonite clay into me depending on what it is. but... time is the best thing. time for your body to deal with this and get it out.

I. feel. like. I. am. on. crack.

Thanks for the kind words everybody. I've had 2 bottles of delicious Kombucha and some Young Thai Coconut water with lemon added. I think I'm gonna go for some more of that.

Wow. That was a weird night. I'm totally glad it happened. I'm still recovering - my electricity is coming back gradually. I wrote a journal entry that night, and I will post it right here. I hope someone out there takes something profound from it.


I feel like a pickle.

Let's learn something from this. I don't even feel like writing this right now, how plain and mundane flatline I feel. But thankfully, I've stored it in my brain by now that mundanity is temporary, and that later when I feel electric with aliveness, I'll want to know this.

My diet consists of mostly raw, living plant foods. For the past few days, I've consumed a good amount of cooked, fairly processed foods. Mostly chips and pizza. And I feel like I'm on drugs. Really weird ones. My consciousness is rollercoasting through submodalities of the past, before I converted to a raw food diet. I feel borderline defeating feelings. I say borderline because I'm aware and level-headed about what is happening to me. Otherwise, they would definitely be interpreted as defeating.

What am I learning right now, from this weird state of consiciousness I'm in right now? I'm learning, about - empathy. I am feeling a true empathy for others who are in a state similar to this one often. I was looking around at Garden Patch, Walmart, and Meijer and felt like I was getting a truer representation of what the people around me felt like. I felt like I could, perhaps interact with them easier, since I was feeling what they felt like.

The way I feel. It's so different from how I usually feel. I'm bordering on a whole different belief system. If I hadn't trained myself to be consciously centered, I could be really confused right now, perhaps freaking out. How many people feel like how I do now? How many people feel like how I usually feel? How many points are there in-between? How many other ways is there to feel? How can you possible know someone's intentions when they're interpretations of the world are sorted so differently from yours? When somebody think's I'm weird or a hippie for eating raw plant foods, and I think they're dumb and ignorant for eating fast food... we are just two people in completely separate worlds. To say we have different beliefs, I don't know if that would be enough. We operate on two different wavelengths. One of us is in a Mario game, the other in a Sonic game. One of us is in a romance, the other in a comedy.

You really have to love everybody. That is the best way to possibly connect. True, compassionate, empathetic love. It is a universal feeling we all strive for. At the end of the day, it's all we really want.

All in all I'm happy I'm having this experience. It is teaching me something profound. Cooked food is a true empathogen... well, ya know, if you want to feel like other people that eat cooked food. Will I ever do this again? I'm not sure. I like to get peaks into how other people are feeling so I can understand them better. On the other hand, I'm not really a fan of feeling like a friggin pickle.

Get back on the trail but stay connected to those who are wandering through the woods.
